If you know Chef’n you know we are foodies who love a home cooked meal. You know we’re also busy parents and professionals who want to save time and money wherever we can. When shopping for Christmas this year we’ve kept a sharp eye, trying to buy only the most needed, most creative gifts that we know will get used…well, the most.

Today, cruising through our favorite facebook pages, we saw a picture of the Stem Gem on NPR. We thought hooray! This little strawberry huller is a Chef’n Essential and at only $7.99 great stocking stuffer! Then we saw the title…Now, we understand that yes, there are goatee shavers, small toe towels, and enormous counter-space eating apple corers out there. But what about the garlic press, the electric can opener, or the oyster knife? We think some of these gadgets are truly worth their salt. At Chef’n, we love making products like the Stem Gem that save you time in the kitchen. It’s also important we just make cooking a little more fun. Because come on, who doesn’t need a set of grinders equipped with their own knife and fork?
